Temporary help agencies should not record the cases experienced by temp workers who are
supervised by the using organization

Speaker Notes:

Employees on the payroll must be included in the employer’s records, unless the company is acting
as a temporary help service.

Employees not covered in the OSH Act are also not included in the OSHA records. These include
unpaid volunteers, sole proprietors, family members on family farms, domestic workers in
residential settings.

Temporary workers will be the employees of the party exercising day-to-day control over them, and
the supervising party will record their injuries and illnesses.

The employer and the temporary help service can discuss each case to see who is recording it. We do
not want a case to be recorded twice if it can be avoided.
